I had to be careful with my GK rig, had ornaments leaping from sideboards when I cranked it up a bit There are plenty of people on here willing to tutor you depending on where you are Deb, start a thread asking for lessons. I'm sure it wouldn't take long to find someone, Andy

You could ask on the pink floyd facebook page. Theres alot of hardcore fans on there who could have the answer Andy

[quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1335375624' post='1630197'] Thanks very much for the welcome. I will keep an eye out as I'm so delighted with the ultra gorgeous bass I bought via this forum . I've not picked up a bass for 20 odd years (prev played a double bass) so I'm now well and truly hooked once again. (The practice exercises in the "Teach Yourself" book and DVD are flippin awful!) I've borrowed two amps (a Laney RB3 and an old Fender) so I'm spoiled for choice but want to get something sorted pretty quickly. Many thanks once again [/quote] Welcome Deb, I'm wading my way through Scott Devine's video lessons at the moment, receive one a week by email [url="http://www.scottsbasslessons.com"]www.scottsbasslessons.com[/url] worth a look. Scott is a member on here. ...and the GK combo just adds to the confusion.... Andy

At 56 I feel quite young here, puts a spring in the step (actually it's hydraulic ) not been playing that long though, relative newbie. Welcome Stu Andy

I don't gig I'm afraid (talent deficiency, but i'm learning) sold most of my GK stuff which was for that purpose, but haven't given up hope! Just want something of decent quality that doesnt take up half the dining room. Andy

I usually practice at reasonably quiet volume and then a ten minute thrash with some noise. Live in the middle of nowhere with no neighbours so no issues. Also no need for a headphone jack. Initially I wanted to try the 'Ampeg sound', but with the options i found (+ the suggestions so far) it's getting more and more complicated. I had an old ashdown 50w 110 when I first started and it sounded a bit thin and wheezy so I don't want to go there again. The Hughes and Kettner combo looks nice, but then so does the TC, er and.......

I want a combo for home use but with a bit of some thing about it. Not just an 8" 10 watt thing. Would like to try ampeg or orange so I looked on Thomann and am now a bit mesmerised, so some input from you guys woud help a lot. Looked at these... Ampeg [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ampeg_ba115_bass_combo.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._bass_combo.htm[/url] Orange [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/orange_crush_pix_100bxt.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._pix_100bxt.htm[/url] But looking further there's these... Line 6 [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/line6_lowdown_ld400_pro.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...n_ld400_pro.htm[/url] a lump for little money Hartke [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/hartke_a_100s_ltd_edition.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ltd_edition.htm[/url] Hughes and Kettner [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/hugheskettner_basskick_bk100_basscombo.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...0_basscombo.htm[/url] (eminence goodness) TC electronic [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_bg500210.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ic_bg500210.htm[/url] (this would damage a few windows i think) Ampeg [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ampeg_ba600_115_b_stock.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...115_b_stock.htm[/url] (a bit over budget, but tubes and neo speaker) Fender [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_rumble_350.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._rumble_350.htm[/url] I could go on but would really value some input and any expeience you've had of any of the above. Maybe a poll? Cheers guys Andy

Think a lot of their pups are 'Artec' the wiring plans are from them

[i]'Tinning' each part first (putting a blob of solder) makes life easier, you then just heat both together and jobs done[/i] [i]Andy[/i]

and a thumbs up from me. Sounds great, good luck. (agree about the yamaha tho, sounds perfect for the piece) Andy

Just bung me £700 for my rig and you'll be fine (shameless sales pitch, well I do sell double glazing ) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164181-gallien-krueger-rig-for-sale-price-drop/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164181-gallien-krueger-rig-for-sale-price-drop/[/url]
